SOUTHWICK – The Planning Board must reconsider the special permit it denied to a commercial development company that wanted to build a Dollar General store on College Highway after a mediated agreement was reached between the city and the company last week.

“It was a reasonable outcome of the mediation to send it back to the Select Planning Board, which is the decision-making authority, with the agreement of (Select Board Chairman Jason Perron) and one of the key dissenters… (Planning Board Chairman Michael ) Doherty), to let the applicant come back,” Select Board member Doug Moglin said after Board member Diane Gale announced the agreement during Monday’s board meeting.

The city and Calito Development Group of Connecticut agreed to mediation in late September to settle two Land Court lawsuits filed by the developer after the Planning Board denied it a special permit to build the Dollar General store in July.
